    They are virtually unknown in America.

      A)There is no PPV in germany
      B)They have a contract with a specific german tv stations
      C)Klitschkos previously stated that their boxing should be on public TV stations.


      And before you ask, why they dont do PPV here, it does not work that way, for a fight to be free in the country of origin and PPV in outside areas.

        HW boxing moved from america to europe. They're crowd attractions over here. The world doesn't center around the US.

          The Klits make an insane amount of money from the TV networks over-seas. Even if there was PPV over there, they wouldn't need it.

            Because who would pay to see a jab fest for most of the fight? When your own trainer is yelling at you to finish your opponent that tells you that even he thinks it's boring.

              Because they make enough money without it. Klit are national heroes and known around the world. Everytime they fight its a big show and a spectacle with all the "it" people watching it live. Ever Notice in any Klitschko fight you will see 40k people, great production, michael buffer, etc? The Productions of tonights show was way better than any PPV HBO can produce.

              Just because its not on PPV doesnt mean they dont make their guap! I know its hard to believe but wander outside your country!

              All the haters hate but they watch all his fights!

              The HW division is what everyone respects as they are considered the bosses.

                The general irony of the forum.

                Regarding any other fighter: "Man I'm tired of PPV. Why is this fight on PPV? "

                Regarding Klitschkos: "Why don't they fight on PPV?"

                  I respect the **** out of them for that one, definitely commendable.

                  A promoter from the Arum or King branch would have created a PPV or closed circuit format to exploit and abuse the German audiences interest in the Klitschko's and boxing.

                    The Klit brothers quietly are among the top 3 paid fighters in boxing. Who knows they might even make more yearly than Pac or Floyd.

                    You guys don't realize the money they bring in.
